Why is professional AC cleaning important in Dubai homes and offices?

Dubai’s climate creates constant high humidity inside AC systems, which encourages microbial growth. Without proper cleaning, AC units can circulate contaminants throughout indoor spaces.

How is Saniservice different from standard AC cleaning companies in the UAE?

Most AC cleaners focus on visible dust. Saniservice follows a scientific indoor environmental remediation process that targets microbial sources, moisture behavior, and airflow contamination.

Is AC mould common in Dubai buildings?

Yes. Due to year-round AC use, high humidity, and sealed buildings, AC-related microbial growth is extremely common in Dubai residential and commercial properties.

Why does simple AC duct cleaning often fail to solve air quality issues?

Duct cleaning alone does not address coils, drain pans, humidity imbalance, or microbial reservoirs. Without correcting these, contamination quickly returns.

How does Saniservice assess whether an AC system is contaminated?

We begin with system inspection and risk assessment, examining moisture patterns, airflow paths, and areas prone to microbial growth rather than relying on visual assumptions.

Why is fogging not an effective AC disinfection method?

Fogging treats air temporarily but does not remove contamination from coils, drains, or surfaces where microbes grow. It masks symptoms without solving root causes.

Can bleach be used safely inside AC systems?

Bleach fails because it does not penetrate biofilms, can corrode components, and does not correct humidity conditions that allow regrowth.

How does humidity affect AC hygiene in the UAE climate?

Humidity is the primary driver of microbial growth. Without addressing moisture behavior inside the system, cleaning alone will not deliver lasting results.

What does “medical-grade AC disinfection” actually mean?

It refers to controlled cleaning and disinfection methods aligned with indoor environmental health standards, not perfumes or cosmetic sanitizers.

How does Saniservice verify that AC cleaning was effective?

Where required, we use pre- and post-intervention validation methods to confirm that contamination levels have been meaningfully reduced.

Is AC cleaning necessary even if there is no visible mould?

Yes. Microbial contamination often exists inside coils and drains long before visible signs appear, especially in Dubai’s climate.

How often should AC systems be cleaned in Dubai?

Frequency depends on usage, humidity levels, and building type, but most UAE properties require more frequent intervention than cooler climates.

Can poor AC hygiene affect health?

Contaminated AC systems can circulate microbial fragments and irritants that may worsen respiratory symptoms and indoor comfort.

Why does Saniservice sometimes clean less than other companies?

Our methodology focuses on correct intervention. We avoid unnecessary disturbance that can spread contamination or damage system components.

Is this service suitable for villas, apartments, and commercial buildings?

Yes. The same scientific principles apply across residential, commercial, and sensitive environments in the UAE.

How does Saniservice handle AC cleaning in occupied spaces?

We use controlled procedures designed to minimize disruption and prevent the spread of contaminants during cleaning.

What role does airflow play in AC contamination?

Improper airflow allows moisture and particles to settle, creating ideal conditions for microbial growth inside the system.

Can AC cleaning reduce recurring odours?

Yes, when odours are caused by microbial growth or trapped moisture, addressing the source eliminates the problem rather than masking it.

Why is source identification important before disinfection?

Disinfection without understanding the cause leads to recurrence. Our process identifies why contamination formed in the first place.

Who should consider Saniservice’s AC cleaning and disinfection service?

Clients in Dubai who prioritize verified indoor air quality, occupant health, and long-term building performance rather than superficial cleaning.

Could mold be causing our family's health issues?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a persistent damp smell lingering in the corner of our living room. The area near the window seems to be more affected, even though we’ve had it cleaned thoroughly. My kids have been complaining of coughing fits and runny noses since this started. Could there be mold growing in that corner? What can we do to address this issue before it affects my family’s health further?

Yes, mold could very well be the culprit causing your family's health issues. In Dubai and UAE, it is common to see humidity levels rise after heavy rainfall events, which can lead to moisture accumulation in corners of homes – especially near windows where air movement might be reduced.

Mold spores are airborne and can easily circulate through your home’s air, affecting everyone's respiratory system, particularly children who may have weaker immune systems. The damp smell you've noticed is a strong indicator that mold is present or has been recently active in the corner of your living room. It's not uncommon for mold to thrive in areas with poor ventilation and high moisture content.

Considering the specific conditions here in Dubai, where we are prone to such weather events, it’s crucial to address this issue promptly. Mold can begin growing within 24-48 hours after water damage occurs, so acting quickly is essential to prevent further health risks for your family.

Given the severity of potential mold growth and the reported symptoms from your children, I highly recommend scheduling a professional inspection with a company certified in indoor environmental quality assessments. This will help identify if there's an active mold issue and provide recommendations on how best to remediate it.

For those based here in Dubai, you can contact Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email them at hello@saniservice.com for a consultation. They are well-equipped to handle such cases and will ensure your home is thoroughly inspected and treated.

In the meantime, take some basic steps to reduce moisture levels:
1. Use dehumidifiers in affected areas.
2. Open windows if possible, but only during dry periods.
3. Avoid leaving wet towels or clothes lying around as they contribute to humidity.
4. Ensure good ventilation by using exhaust fans when cooking and showering.

Remember, early intervention is key to preventing serious health issues and costly property damage from mold growth. Don't hesitate to reach out for professional help.
